Silver and Gold

Many times, I have to fall on my knees and pray

So that I may overcome obstacles in my way

My people been robbed and killed for material things, yes

Brain washing and plagiarizing is their forte

But I read the book, the Holy book and abide by rules, well

And stay away from drugs and guns, and live my life cool

I am not gonna fight them wars for new territory

The only thing I'm fighting for is to rule my destiny

'Cause silver and gold will vanish away

But the knowledge of Jah is forever to stay

Yeah, he sent us a messenger, so hear what I say

Trust in God is the only way

You're rich or you're poor, you can be gone any day

He sent us a messenger, so hear what I say (Hear what I say)

Lord

Now this situation is getting so sticky (So sticky)

The last time I made a check, I was paying a salary (Salary)

So tight, me collar, it breaks, you're my employee

Still you make up all these rules and never, ever consummate

Indiscipline and disrespect will surely lead you astray

One thing you can't forget, some day you will pay

My goals will sabotage just to increase your share

But I'm never turning back 'cause salvation is near

And silver and gold will vanish away

But the knowledge of God is forever to stay

He sent me a messenger, so hear what I say (Hear what I say)

Trust in God is the only way

You're rich or you're poor, you can be gone any day

He sent me a messenger, so hear what I say (Hear what I say)

Hey

'Cause silver and gold will vanish away

But the good education can never decay

He sent me a messenger, so hear what I say (Hear what I say)

Trust in God is the only way

You're rich or you're poor, you can be gone any day

He sent me a messenger, so hear what I say (Hear what I say)

Hear what I say (Hear what I say)
